An avid outdoorsman, hunter, fisherman, Jeeping with the Horn Rapids Four-Wheel Drive club, and camping enthusiast, he started fishing with his dad as soon as he could hold a pole. One of the greatest joys of his life was teaching his sons how to fish and hunt. Many hours were spent in the duck blinds on weekends, getting up at crazy hours to watch the ducks and geese fly into the decoys. He always said there was nothing more awesome than watching ducks tuck their wings while landing on the water. Chris thought he was crazy going out in the worst kinds of weather to hunt. In fact, the most miserable day of her life was spent in pouring rain duck hunting with him. His life was further enhanced when he got to teach his grand babies how to fish.

He loved spending time in the mountains Jeeping and camping with friends and family. Many vacations were spent going to the ocean, mountains, or lake and river side. One year the family vacation was supposed to be a week at the ocean and he surprised his wife and young sons with a motoring trip in his beloved 1978 Ford bronco to Disneyland instead. This awesome adventure was followed by a week exploring Canada. He was a hardworking man, and a great source of pride was being a union millwright, making many lifelong friends and brothers along the way. In lieu of flowers, which he believed was a waste of money to spend on something dead, please make a donation to your favorite charity as an honor in his name. Some suggested charities he donated to, were St. Judes, Wounded Warriors Project, Alzheimer’s and Mikey's Chance where he got his beloved pug, Coco.
